Assist. Prof. Dr. Sewara J. Mohammed, a Lecturer and Researcher at Cihan University Sulaimaniya, recently published his latest review article titled ” Synthesis and applications of luminescent metal organic frameworks (MOFs) for sensing dipicolinic acid in biological and water samples: a review.” This informative piece has been featured in the prestigious international publisher, the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), specifically in Nanoscale Advances. Notably, Nanoscale Advances boasts an impressive impact factor of 4.6, as recognized by both Clarivate and Web of Science.
This study highlights the critical role of detecting trace amounts of 2,6-dipicolinic acid (DPA) for early disease diagnosis and health monitoring. Luminescent metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), with their unique structural versatility and luminescent properties arising from ligands, guest molecules, and metal ions, have emerged as promising platforms for DPA sensing. The review explores various luminescent MOF-based detection strategies, their synthesis, and the mechanisms behind their sensing capabilities. It also addresses challenges and limitations in this field, providing valuable insights for advancing the development of efficient luminescent MOFs for biological and environmental applications.
